Nelly and Kelly Rowland will begin their holiday celebration performing during Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on Thursday, November 25 in New York City.
The rapper and singer won a Grammy for Best Rap/Sung Performance for their 2002 duet, “Dilemma.” The song was also nominated for Record of the Year. “Dilemma” was the first single from Rowland’s 2002 debut solo album, Simply Deep, and remained at number one on the Billboard 100 for ten weeks.
Kelly is also starring in the holiday movie, Merry Liddle Christmas Baby, which premieres November 27 on Lifetime.
In September, Jason Derulo announced in a now-deleted tweet that he and his girlfriend Jena Frumes, the mother of his baby son Jason King, were breaking up. But all three were together in a cozy family Halloween pic, which revealed baby Jason’s face for the first time.
In their Instagram post, Jason and Jena are seen wearing Superman costumes, and then baby Jason pops into the picture, also wearing a Superman costume. They swing him back and forth as he drools adorably, and then Jason’s dog Ice joins in on the fun.
It’s not clear what the status of Jason and Jena’s relationship is, currently; they were also seen on October 17 having lunch together. But even if they haven’t reunited, the two seem to have figured out a way to co-parent successfully.
Jason and Jena, who had been dating since the beginning of the pandemic last year, welcomed baby Jason this past May.

In other news, Questlove has teamed up with The Balvenie for the new digital series Quest for Craft.

Finally, six-time Tony Award award winner Audra McDonald is headed back to Broadway. According to Variety, McDonald is slated to star in Ohio State Murders, a new play by Adrienne Kennedy. Directed by Kenny Leon, the play follows McDonald as Suzanne Alexander, a fictional Black writer, who returns to Ohio State University to “talk about the violence in her writing.” While there, a “dark mystery” begins to unravel.
Adele has unveiled the track listing for her hotly anticipated album 30.
There are 12 tracks in all, including the single “Easy On Me.” The standard version of the album doesn’t include any guest artists, though one track, an “interlude” called “All Night Parking,” includes the words “with Erroll Garner” in its title. Garner was a legendary jazz pianist who died in 1977; perhaps she’s using a portion of one of his compositions for the interlude.
The Target edition of the album includes three bonus tracks, and one of those is a duet version of “Easy On Me” with country music superstar Chris Stapleton. Stapleton gets around: He’s also on Kelly Clarkson‘s new holiday album, and Taylor Swift’s upcoming album Red (Taylor’s Version).
Adele is also offering CD and cassette “box” versions of 30, which come with a t-shirt, a photo print of Adele and the album on either CD or cassette with a 16-page insert booklet.
Here’s the track list for 30, due out November 19:
“Strangers By Nature”
“Easy On Me”
“My Little Love”
“Cry Your Heart Out”
“Oh My God”
“Can I Get It”
“I Drink Wine”
“All Night Parking” (with Erroll Garner) Interlude
“Woman Like Me”
“Hold On”
“To Be Loved”
“Love Is a Game”
Target Deluxe Tracks:
“Wild Wild West”
“Can’t Be Together”
“Easy On Me” (with Chris Stapleton)
The divorce battle between Tyrese and his estranged wife continues as he has reportedly filed a motion to block her “unreasonable” demands.
The Fast & Furious star claims that Samantha Lee Gibson has hired three lawyers and is demanding that he pay high attorney fees, according to court docs reportedly obtained by SandraRose.com. Samantha, who is Tyrese’s second wife, was married to him from 2017-2020. They have a three-year-old daughter, Soraya, and she is requesting $20,000 a month in child support, plus 100% of the child’s expenses, including medical bills, private school, nannies, etc.
The couple announced they were seeking a divorce in December 2020. Samantha alleges that the 42-year-old singer/actor cut her off financially and had locked her and Soraya, out of their home in Georgia.
Tyrese is now involved with model Zelie Timothy, and as previously reported, last month they faked they were breaking up to promote her YouTube channel. He made the admission in a nine-minute Instagram video, with Timothy laughing behind him.
“It was my idea,” Tyrese confessed. “We just want to apologize. We broke up for a good three-and-a-half minutes. We did it for the ‘Gram.'”
